Would a less intrusive call app be good?

I'm 100% with the OP. I wanna hit "dial" and then leave the app. But as it stands, if I leave the app, when the call connects it minimizes what in doing and goes back to the phone app. Drives. Me. Bonkers.

My issue with the call app is, I send off a call, minimize call app so I can continue what I might have been doing prior, only for app to pop up and take up full screen as soon as call is connected. Bit annoying, tbh.

Same thing happens if the other party ends the call. Call app then pops up and take up full screen.

I know some might argue that it's a phone 1st and foremost, but cellphone uses and purposes have evolved. So much so that the call app isn't necessarily the core feature for many a users these days. Myself included there really.

I completely agree with OP. Saying that calling is the most important and therefore it should take up the whole screen and it is done right is just plain ridiculous.

To say that, you would have to either not use BlackBerry for anything else than calling (there are better phones to do that!) or you have made BlackBerry your god and sworn to fight all resistance

This is just not right that there is no pop up informing you about the call while in different app. This is how androids work and they do that right! You get an indicator of an ongoing connection and it just disappears when it's done. Plain and simple.
